Had a near hit with a semi the other day.
It was in the center lane when I merged into that lane, about twenty feet behind it. Abruptly, I realized that it was slowing - and I wasn't. I slammed on the brakes, and came to a stop about two feet behind his bumper. How could I possibly not notice the semi slowing, I thought, as my heart rate slowed down. t was as if the thing had just vanished from my conciousness. I looked carefully at it. The back of the trailer was sky-blue, and the paint was dotted with white dust. It looked just like the blue and white of the sky, visible right over it, to the point where it wasn't easy to tell where the semi stopped and the sky started.
Urban camo?
